Diffusive liquid propagation in porous and elastic materials: the case of foams under microgravity conditions

We report the results of fluid transport experiments in aqueous foams under microgravity. Using optical and electrical methods, the capillary motion of the foam fluid and the local liquid fractions are monitored. We show that foams can be continuously wetted up to high liquid fractions ( approximate...
